freeze advocates The Senator says he supports a tuition tax credit bill "geared towards the working people." It would not harm public schools as many public school teachers claim, he said, but only provide the healthy competition for them. On the domestic front he said he supports clean air legislation, veterans benefit programs and the sale or lease of industry tax credits. He also supports the balanced budget amendment, although he admits it is not a panacea for all deficit problems.
